Why don't you do my friend?

I don't wipe sitting down.

A friend of mine told me I was a psychopath because I wipe standing up still.

Yeah, that is something.

I have trouble.

Weak knees.

We can shift the focus to your movie, but I got a chance to trailer.

Keep that pop.

Smoke was in it late.

Legend in the game, obviously.

What was it like to work with him?

Oh, man, it's a blessing.

It was It was a real blessing from the universe to get to me pop in that moment.

And he literally drove back from I believe it was Connecticut that he had a live show in him and his homie, like, nine of them were waiting for me in my apartment when I came home.

And then we just started playing basketball.

I ran him through lives.

He was cast and he was on set.

The next day was really a crazy 24 hours.

Um but, man, I'm telling you, Pop has one of the fastest computer processors I've ever seen.

Like every note, every line I gave him he could instantly take it.

He could adapt to change on the spot, and he had no fear.

What can our audience expect when they take in this movie?

You know, And it The best count for this is this is the the Taiwanese Chinese Brooklyn, Rocky, you know, and and the thing that I loved about Rocky is Look, there's boxing, just fantastic boxing.

But it's not about boxing, right?

It uses boxing to take you through all the pockets of Italian American Philadelphia and all the things he intersex.

And and that's really what's happening in Boogie.

I feel like you're gonna see a new world, but it's gonna feel like a familiar story.

What made you want to choose basketball as the vessel to sort of play up all of those things?

Besides my relationships and failures and relationships, basketball was was the teacher, and that was the thing that was most different than my Chinese very traditional upbringing.

And I was able to encounter all the different cultures in America and and I really feel you can find and discover everything you need to know about a person by watching them play basket.

Yeah, which Eddie lucky for you.

You never saw me play basketball.

But I want to stay with the basketball theme and I've got to ask you an NBA question.

Are your next going to make the playoffs?

Like, Are you as surprised as I am that the Knicks are actually pretty good?

I'm gonna be honest.

I'm surprised where there's good.

I believed in tips, but man like I love R.

J.

Barrett as a person.

Phenomenal kid, sweetheart.

He can't shoot.

Dude, he's the rocks rocks out there.

And also the problem with RJ is he'll drive and he doesn't notice.

There's a double team and I'm like homemade Nerlens.

Noel is just waiting to dunk the ball on the other side.

And if RJ would just look up, it would just change his life.

They make the playoffs.

We're making the playoffs.

We are making.

We're making the plan.

Do you hear that?

I was getting ready to say we got it on record, so just be careful about that.

That's all I can say.

We bring up receipts on this show and it comes back to bite people.

I just got a formal warning.

We are so happy we're excited for Boogie that is Eddie Wang.
